Update the config.php File

When the installation has completed update the config.php file to update the administrators email address to receive error notifications. You can also update the database and username details.

To Update the config.php File:

  1. Open the config.php file by selecting the file in the Items to configure window and choose Launch.

    Update the config.php file

    Note: The Install Folder target shown in the Configuration Tool window will depend on the installation method chosen, and may differ from the screenshot.

  2. Search for the ADMIN_EMAIL entry and add the administrator's email address
  3. Search for the database details and update the hostname, username, password and database defaults (shown in the example) to the details used to create the database:

    $database['hostname'] = 'localhost'; // eg. localhost, 127.0.0.1, www.author-it.com

    $database['username'] = 'awm_site'; // eg. test

    $database['password'] = '1234'; // eg. test

    $database['database'] = 'awm'; // eg. awm

    Important: This step is omitted if the database will continue to use the default names and password.

  4. Save the changes and close the file
  5. Choose Apply in the configuration window to apply the settings
  6. Close the configuration window
